Meteorology Webquest
In this webquest, students practice being real-world meteorologists forecasting and interpreting weather maps. They use current weather websites to track current conditions and to predict future conditions. They explore the different types of weather maps meteorologists use to track different aspects of the weather. The webquest allows ample room to individualized student exploration. Students can explore different types of maps of their interest, as well as different places around the world

Inquiry Based Learning Project: CLIMATE CHANGE
An Inquiry Based Learning Project your students are going to love!Climate change has been a topic of discussion and debate, under various titles, for many decades. With an increase in droughts and flooding, ecologically forced human migration, and the melting of ice sheets globally, climate change is obviously a major issue. But if we know it's a problem, why is so hard to solve?! With the ability to look at climate change scientifically, politically, socially, economically, or any combination o

Energy Webquest
In this self-directed and interactive webquest, students conduct an in-depth research exploration about energy! It starts with an overview of "energy" and the law of conservation of energy in order to build a conceptual understanding of energy and energy transformations. It then moves into exploring the different forms of energy through interactives: potential, gravitational, kinetic, chemical, electrical, mechanical, etc. It then moves into the different types of energy transfer: electrical, t

Owl Pellet Ecosystem Analysis- Trophic Pyramid and Energy Flow
Kids typically say that they "did" owl pellets in middle school, but they rarely can come up with any understanding or explanation as to what they were doing or why.
This ecosystem lab is good for an advanced biology or environmental science class and takes owl pellet dissection to the level it should be. Students will dissect owl pellets and identify prey, but use that data (and some basic research) to reconstruct a trophic level pyramid and calculate energy flow in an ecosystem.

Earth's Four Spheres Mini Project
I created this product to spark some interest in learning and reviewing the content about the four spheres of Earth (biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere.) Students research a location in which many sphere interactions take place and answer questions given about their topic. I picked locations students may visit one day such as the Grand Canyon, Fallingwater, Niagara Falls, etc. I give them a list of places so they don't have to come up with one on their own.
